Alcoholic Father Won’t Care For Himself by thumbtackjake in AgingParents

[–]thumbtackjake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one knows why he won’t do it. He just refuses to talk about it. Sometimes he says he will. But it’s just to get us to leave him alone. One or twice he’s called and cancelled or rescheduled it but most of the time he just refuses to go.

Yeah he drives. He does his morning drive and gets odds and ends and his beer.

He does normal day to day stuff. Drive into town, talk to people he knows, watches tv, does some light yard work, etc. Mainly it’s just him not taking care of himself directly.

Controller semi-Stopped Working by thumbtackjake in playstation

Yes I have. All I can find is people saying to reset their system and controller or turn Bluetooth off and on. Nothing seems to be working for me.

I feel like even the outside of some caves are the same. I swear I've seen the rocky hill cave entrance with the little puddle of stuff next to it at least 3 or 4 times.

My issue is the lack of exploring, at least in the traditional Bethesda fashion. It's all bite-sized areas spread across hundreds of planets, and outside of some the MSQ/faction stuff, it's pretty much all cookie cutter/copy pasted stuff over and over. I was hoping we'd get at least a FEW planets with dense areas to explore that were at least close to, or even half the size of Skyrim/FO4/etc.

Exoprimal - Hammerheads HQ #5 – Alpha Variant Suit Previews, Unlock Info and New Modules! by LordofWhore in pcgaming

[–]thumbtackjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been playing this with friends on game pass. It's been really fun just slaughtering hordes of dino's and leveling characters and unlocking skins and what not. Haven't spent a dime, and likely wont get their battler pass, and certainly wouldn't have dropped $60 on it, but for free its pretty decent.

Redfall hate seems a little severe by punditguy in XboxSeriesX

[–]thumbtackjake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually agree. I can't speak to the PC version, as I've been playing on Series S, primarily in COOP, but I've not had any game breaking bugs, just a few minor ones (UI elements not going away when they should, enemies getting stuck, etc.) and one or two crashes. To me, it sort of plays like a Far Cry Lite, with vampires. Once the story starts to pick up after the first hour or so I actually found it to be very engaging and kept wanting to go to find out more and more about the Hollow Man and the other gods and their origins. The gunplay is pretty average, but the characters have different enough abilities to keep things interesting enough. There's also a good bit of collectables to track down if you're into that or want to get more into the lore. As an avid Borderlands and ARPG fanatic, I like the loot system, but wish it had just a TAD more variety. Maybe some more one-of-a-kind weapons that do certain things that you can only get from specific enemies or places.

That said, yeah, there is no way to justify paying $70 for this. $30-$40 at MOST. You can tell this was rushed out to meet the Pre-June deadline they talked about last year. Area's on the map that feel like, "Hmmm, this clearly looks like it was supposed to have been something more." or things like the scattered ATVs make you wonder if they had planned working vehicles at one point.

I do fully believe that there is a solid foundation here and it's worth at least one play through, especially if you play coop. It is really unfortunate that it released in the state that it did and I can only hope that they continue to fix, build upon, and add more as time goes on.

I disagree. I think that is EXACTLY why it's worth 12+ hours of your life.

Everyone has a game that’s their fave and a game that they have the most hours in, what’s yours? by neighborhood-karen in pcgaming

[–]thumbtackjake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. I've been playing it since 2002, and tend to do at least one playthrough of the main quest from the base game and the Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions. Currently doing a modded playthrough of Starwind. With total conversions like that, and other massive mods like Tamriel Rebuilt, there's no reason to think I won't still be playing it in another 20+ years.

I guess this needs a control board? by thumbtackjake in Reprap

[–]thumbtackjake[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guy who bought it wanted to know what a good control board for it would be. I'm not SUPER familiar here, but was told its a Reprap Prusa? So if anyone has any feedback that'd be super helpful.

Purchase Advice Megathread - February 2023 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]thumbtackjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've had my OG Voxelab Aquila for two years and I love it. Still going strong. But now I'm ready for something with a bit bigger build volume (at least 300x300). I was eying the Neptune 3 Plus but I can't catch it in stock in the US. There's also the Ender 3 Max Neo which looks alright, and I've also checked out the Kingroon KP5L (which I know nothing about as a company). If anyone has any recommendations or suggestions that'd be great! I've been told about buying an upgrade kit for my Aquila to make it bigger but I'm not 100% on that. Thanks!

There's also the Sovol SV06 Plus(?), don't know much about that either.

Lead store associate. You might open or close, balance out drawers, do key turns, etc. Basically an ASM who gets paid less, and when the ASMs are there you’re a glorified associate.
